Their documentaries, fictional films, photography, art installations, texts and performances develop narratives and images around stories kept secret, acting as a resistance to official history.
Functioning as a guide for the eponymous exhibitions as well as a monograph of their work, Two Suns in a Sunset, written in the three languages of artists Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige – Arabic, French and English – includes contributions by Philippe Azoury, Omar Berrada, José Miguel G. Cortés, Okwui Enwezor, Marta Gili, Boris Groys, Nat Muller, Anna Schneider, Brian Kuan Wood and Sharjah Art Foundation Director Hoor Al Qasimi.
